2010 Chevy Traverse – Full Sized Family Fun

February 26th, 2010

GM takes pride in offering its customers a vehicle they will be proud to own and excited to drive.

Traverse brings together exceptional design, utility, and quality in a way that people simply expect from GM. A combination of luxury and utility are cleverly weaved together here.

Searching for the best family vehicle–one that offers maximum efficiency, comfort, and cargo space all at a reasonable cost will describe future Traverse owners.

Within its reasonable price you get 24 mpg highway, a fun and multipurpose family SUV, all without sacrificing looks as some brands must do to deliver such a complete package – the 2010 Chevy Traverse stands alone.

The Traverse easily seats a family of four and has adequate space for all the gear mom and dad carry on a daily basis. Safety elements are everywhere you look in the Traverse with six standard air bags as well as three side-impact airbags ensuring maximum safety. And as parents and anyone with a loved one on the road knows–with safety there is comfort.

This 2010 Chevy has an inviting feeling with leather seats– heated and cooled and dual zone climate control is offered as a option. The interior space and design is the highlight of the Traverse. The second row seats are spacious enough to seat three people with comparative ease. A smart slide-seat also allows easy access to the back of the vehicle where those passengers have adequate leg room.

The luxury of split-folding seats in the second and third row of the Traverse allows for more flexibility with passengers of all shapes and sizes. The back cargo space ranks largest among Chevy Traverse top competitors. This allows for more cargo space when traveling with a full load– eight passengers.

In fact, the Traverse has more interior space than any full-time family vehicle marketed. The 2010 Chevy Traverse possesses both efficiency and beauty, while maintaining comfort and taking the issue of safety off your mind.

Class Leading 2010 Chevy Malibu

January 28th, 2010

Since its segment-shaking redesign in 2008, the Chevy Malibu has consistently ranked amongst the very best the competitive midsize family sedan segment has to offer. With more modern and appealing styling, craftsmanship, safety and performance than its Honda and Toyota counterparts, the 2010 Malibu is primed for continued greatness.

Outside, Chevy’s newest sedan is a model of meticulous craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail. In LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trims, the sophisticated Malibu styling that has generated driver praise and critical acclaim since its inception returns for 2010, complete with tightened gaps and seams, brilliantly sculpted paneling and carefully detailed lines.

Resting on available 18-inch, 10-spoke aluminum alloys, Malibu’s elegant form sits low and wide, ensuring a steady, balanced base for Chevy’s latest midsize. An available silver finish and chrome grille is split horizontally by a body-colored strip housing the Chevy bowtie, and stretches like a set of gritting teeth between two aggressively mounted halogen headlamps and optional projector beam foglamps.

Lines on the Malibu are long and smooth, powering back from the vehicle’s angular front end over gently arching side panels, chrome accents, optional heated mirrors and a sleek roofline (with available power sunroof). The sedan’s beautifully tailored backend features integrated LED clear-lens taillamps, as well as an available spoiler.

Beneath the hood, Chevy’s latest brilliantly blends power and efficiency with two dynamic engine choices. Malibu’s base engine is a spirited 2.4-liter ECOTEC four-cylinder that makes 169 hp and 160 lb/ft of torque through a standard four-speed or available six-speed automatic transmission with TAPshift controls. When attached to the six, Chevy’s 2.4-liter is capable of up to 33 highway mpg, more than comparable options from Honda and Toyota. Chevy also offers an upgraded 3.6-liter ECOTEC V6, an impressively efficient and powerful engine that utilizes advanced Variable Valve Timing to hit up to 252 hp.

Chevy Cruze Adds To GM’s Growing Fuel Efficient Lineup

January 23rd, 2010

The 2011 Chevy Cruze will make its US debut in the third quarter of 2010, around the same time as the Chevy Volt will be making it’s debut. The Cruze has been highly successful internationally, and with the small car segment heating up from examples on display at the North American International Auto Show, this will further enhance the selection for people in the market for something new and good on gas.

The bar is raising, cars like Chevy Cruze can lift up a company like GM to where it should be as it prepares for the comeback of the century. Their was a good vibe that filled the rooms at Cobo Hall in Detroit as Ed Whitacre, GM’s new CEO took the podium. The significance of the GM lineup of small cars due to come out this year will send people flocking to the dealers anxious to see the technology and savings these vehicles produce.

The design of the Chevy Cruze is of determination and commitment. Looking at one from the front you can see the global design elements that chiseled look which leaves little opportunity for criticism. Engineers and designers were definitely on the same level here, and it’s clear that prior issues and doubt weren’t on their minds.

When it seems things couldn’t get much worse for domestic car companies, they pulled together and fought to produce what the public wants. With vehicles such as the Chevy Cruze, the Chevy Aveo RS and the Chevy Volt, the question no longer remains whether to buy American, the question becomes how am I supposed to choose only one.

THREE IN A ROW AT #1!

January 22nd, 2010

Marc Heitz Chevrolet Finishes #1 in the State for the Third Consecutive Year

leeinfrontofstore-250pxWhile 2009 was a rollercoaster year all across the industry, Marc Heitz Chevrolet in Norman had a very promising year full of exciting new additions and welcomed news. And thanks to you, our loyal customers and family, we received news this past week that once again, Marc Heitz was the #1 Chevy Dealer in the State for all of 2009!

The year started off with a blast as we unveiled MarcHeitzCorvette.com, our exclusive website for the premiere Corvette Capital of the State, which got Vette enthusiasts across the country excited for the 2nd Annual NCCO All Corvette Show, hosted at Marc Heitz Chevrolet in August.

At the end of May, we hosted one of the largest pre-auction sales events ever with over 1,000 vehicles, covering all nine American-made lines (and then some) gathered in Norman at I-35 and Exit 108 for 5 days of great deals, great food, and great giveaways!

Child and dog Halloween costume contests, concerts in the amphitheatre, the International Finals Rodeo awards banquet… it seems like something is continually happening at Marc Heitz Chevrolet in Norman! And with the green features of the dealership conserving higher than anticipated, the new store at I-35 and Exit 108 is making quite a name for itself.

But while Marc Heitz Chevrolet is indeed “one-of-a-kind,” you don’t get to be #1 just because you have a cool looking lot. It takes an understanding that relationships with people are more important than selling cars.

Our success starts with our name. We don’t label ourselves as an ‘Auto Group’. We’re ‘Marc Heitz Auto Family’, and we treat every one of our employees and customers like they are a part of our family. Our stores are known for their laid-back, friendly atmosphere and our customers know they don’t have to fight for a fair price. We provide them with service loaner cars for the life of their vehicle. And we work hard so our customers will not only come back for future purchases, but also refer their friends and family to our dealerships.

So once again, we’d like to say “THANKS OKLAHOMA” for making Marc Heitz Chevrolet in Norman the #1 Chevy Dealer in the State for the third year in a row!

Chevy Grows Small-Car Lineup By 2012

January 20th, 2010

In less than 2 years, there will be four small cars available from Chevrolet in the U.S. market.

In addition to the Chevy Aveo and the game-changing electronic Volt, Chevrolet will be introducing the Cruze, a more mature and sohpisticated replacement for the Chevy Cobalt, in 2011 in addition to the fuel-saving Spark.

“We think that we’re going to start seeing some industry growth, and that’s going to put pressure on fuel prices again…so we think that’s going to encourage consumers to continue buying small cars,” said small cars marketing director Margaret Brooks. “We’re seeing really a resurgence of small cars throughout the industry.”

The 2011 Chevy Cruze will change how people view small cars, having the roominess and add-ons that you would normally find on a more upscale mid-size car, but with the price and fuel-economy of a compact.

The longest running of the small car models for Chevrolet will also be undergoing some significant positive changes. The next generation Chevy Cobalt will be American-made, being moved to the Lake Orion, Michigan plant that was the former production facility of the Pontiac G6.

We look forward to the diversity of these models when they share the lot here at Marc Heitz Chevrolet within the next couple years.
